Love is what carries you, for it is always there, even in the dark, but shining out at times like gold stitches in a piece of embroidery.
Wendell Berry


One forgets about parenting -- the on and on-ness of it.

  5. That is just the sweetest picture I've ever seen. I can't get over how much Oliver looks like young Henry.

  6. You cannot imagine how much I love this post! First, that PHOTO! Then, the Wendell Berry quote, which I am copying down to re-read, on dark days. And finally, a reminder of Maggie Smith's inimitable presence in Downton. Long may she reign.
